The List

I came across a blog the other day that sparked an idea in me... coming up with a list of 30 things I want to do before I'm 30 years old. I'm not sure exactly what I would put on such a list, but it did get me thinking! I mean, there are lots of things I would love to do at some point in my life, but I'm not sure I can realistically do them before I'm 30. Let's face it, I'm running out of time here- going to Ireland or buying a house might not be realistic in the next year and a half.

I do know that I want to grow some tomatoes in my backyard... and eat them, of course. That's been something I've wanted to do for a while and just couldn't make it happen last summer.

I also want to see a financial advisor. I'd like to be more knowledgeable, mindful and organized with money.

Running a 5K would be another thing on my list.... Apparently I've just started my list of 30 Things to Do Before 30! I'll have to think more about it and add a few more items.

What would you have on your list?? However many things to do before you turn however many years old??
